By the time the soldier pulled into the little town, every hotel room was taken. "You've got to have a room somewhere," he pleaded with a proprietor. "Well, I do have a double room with one occupant, but he's an Air Force guy," admitted the manager, "and he might be glad to split the cost. But to tell you the truth, he snores so loudly that people in adjoining rooms have complained in the past. I'm not sure it'd be worth it to you..." "No problem," the tired army guy assured him, "I'll take it."
The next morning the soldier came down to breakfast table bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. "How'd you sleep?" asked the manager. "Never better!" said the soldier. The manager was impressed. "No problem with the other guy snoring all night long?" "No, I shut him up in no time," explained the soldier. "How'd you manage that?" "Well, he was already in bed, snoring away, when I walked into the room, so I gave him a kiss on the cheek," explained the soldier. Then, I whispered in his ear, 'Goodnight, beautiful,' and he sat up all night looking at me." |
